Review by EricLanzillotta Nov 25, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
A fine art object! This is not a record in the traditional sense, it is a 7" circle of metal mesh made of the purpose of grinding. However, packaged and sold as it was, and being that it does have the correct sized hole in the center, it can be played on a turntable. Back around the time this first came out, I had an old turntable which was not longer useful for playing records, so I used it to play this. It was pure and direct noise, and not only destoyed the needle, but ground up a good portion of the cartridge as well (flecks of which can still be seen in my copy). That fun experience just goes to show that this record is indeed playable and does give one the pleasure of listening to a good noise record. Additionally, as it has no grooves it will continue to play until your playing arm is totally destroyed or your patience has worn out!
